| Description of the problem | Possible transmission servo issue. After shifting from park to drive/reverse and pressing on accelerator the vehicle will abruptly lunge in the direction of the selected gear. This happens so suddenly that it causes panic to all inside/outside the vehicle. There are many other owners that i have talked to that mention the same issue, but they don't seem to care as much as i do to report it. This may cause a variety of situations to why this is unsafe. Dealer has told me that this is normal, and no concern since there is no recall. This is very abnormal, or out the norm versus other vehicles with automatic transmission and i do not believe this as this vehicle being unique as it is more than one vehicle. |
